Integrating Agile and Waterfall Practices

This intermediate-level course is designed to help Agile practitioners recognize and resolve many of the common integration issues that emerge when these two methodologies are combined. The course consists of 20 short case studies that simulate the communication and interchanges that can occur as Agile and Waterfall practitioners work together. As students evaluate these case studies, they'll learn to deconstruct and diagnose any underlying problems that need to be resolved, just as they would in everyday practice. While they work to decode and correct these issues, they'll begin to recognize the common pitfalls that can happen as project teams collaborate and interact.

Learning Outcomes

  • Recognize the problems that Agile and Waterfall collaborators contend with on a regular basis
  • Apply practical tips from experienced practitioners to correct these problems
  • Polish and perfect your skills as you create an environment that enhances the alliance with your partners and collaborators

Key Features

  • Expert-supported 20 real-world case studies
  • Accessible Mobile-friendly
